My motto: “Theater for life, film for fiction”!
My drive is to capture relevant issues on film. The reason why I say “film for fiction” is because that’s where I get release as a creative writer. It offers me a chance to fictionalize facts. Because of the authenticity of film, I can take my fiction and give it the impact of reality and actuality that film gives you room to. I can go 20 centuries into the future with film and look at it like it’s reality today.
